About Hail Caesar JeanLeon Gerome Orientalism Art Painting
“Hail Caesar” painted by the famous Orientalist artist Jean Leon Gerome, is an admirable proof of his excellent ability to portray simple subject matter in an exceptionally detailed and attractive manner. The gladiators originally performed at Etruscan funerals, no doubt with intent to give the dead man armed attendants in the next world; hence the fights were usually to the death. At shows in Rome these exhibitions became wildly popular and increased in size from three pairs at the first known exhibition in 264 BCE (at the funeral of a Brutus) to 300 pairs in the time of Julius Caesar (died 44 BCE).
